Globally Wanted (2011-)

A mystical tribe has gathered to celebrate a twisted family reunion. In a black fortress, manic and magical music takes over, and the end result is shattered minds and crippled bodies.

”Globally Wanted is a blackish burlesque belch straight at your face. — I have no idea what to compare this to. Not to anything. Scary, and at the same time pleasurably filling the senses.”
– HS, Finland’s largest subscription newspaper 5.10.11

Globally Wanted is a performance of absurd happenings told through circus, acrobatics, parkour, physical theatre and an ingenious design.

The Globally Wanted tribe consist of five creatures. The fragile creatures test each other one by one, physically and mentally, to find their perfect match. The tests include moon walk dancing, spanking, singing bad opera, tickling, climbing, spinning, hanging, kissing…Despite of the grotesque relationships, this is their way of loving. It is normal to be different.

Globally Wanted was premiered at 3.10.2011 at Jyväskylä, Central Finland, and has since been performed 34 times in 12 different venues in Finland, Sweden, Germany and UK, including Cirko – Helsinki International New Circus Festival 2012 and Subtopia Circus Fair, Stockholm 2012. The Arts Council of Central Finland awarded Globally Wanted with the “Twist of the Year” – arts prize in 2011.

Duration: 60 min. Age recommendation: For adults / For people over 16 years old.

Kerrostalo – Block of Flats (2012)

Block of Flats is an open-minded fusion of acrobatics, parkour, music, light and dance. People running on walls, getting magnetized to eachother, whirling on tissues and celebrating life. Block of Flats breaths down your neck and you can feel its past on on your shoulders. What happened here before I was here? How will I react when the traces and sounds of a neighbouring life invade my territory? When and how understanding and acceptance come into existence?

The people in Block of Flats are drawn in-between waking and dreams. Sleep paralysis stalks the sleeper, a state where the mind is awake an a momentarily paralyzed body. Beautiful and delicate tones are haunted by anxious and nightmarish moods.

The music for Block of Flats is specially composed for the performance. The orchestra includes e.g. double bass, electric bass, percussion, violin, oboe and vocals. Musical influences come from different parts of the world and styles of music. Led by lopsided music reality gets distorted.

– A Mixture Of Dystopia And Utopia –

Human breeding has reached fearful, yet sweet results. There are only six bunkeracrobats left in the universe – plus otherworlders… RAJATILA (BORDERLINE) is hot mixture of circus, dance and theatre spiced with the black humour and strong aesthetics of Circus Uusi Maailma – this is rough and futuristic progressive circus!

RAJATILA (BORDERLINE) was performed in an old paper factory at June-September 2013 with 15 performances, premiered at Jyväskylä Arts Festival.
